“You were injured far worse than you thought, I tried to heal you but your power has risen. You are to a point now that my healing of you takes far longer than you usually have the time for.” Hopix said a little upset as she looked lovingly at Alan.
Alan and Hopix spent the rest of the day doing what they could for all those there. Many had never been to themselves and were finding it difficult to cope without the voices in their head. Hours later Alan was finally starting to feel more like his self.
The elder stepped up to talk to Alan drawing him to a private area to talk to both of them. “Great Mazey Alan, we have heard that you defeated 2 of the evil Mazey’s, though this is good for right now, we must act quickly. Though there are less of them they still control a great many of the people here, please Mazey Alan free them.”
Rising from the sanctuary Alan reached out feeling for the bird woman ’til he found her, this one he thought, I will take care of first. She was the first to block me, never again! Slowly Alan and Hopix made their way across the land healing it as they went, finally they stood outside a huge dark crystalline appearing building.
“So I see that you have more to you than I thought, come and get me!” she screamed.
“I’ve got a better idea,” Alan said. Reaching out Alan aimed and blew a section of the building loose. “Bring your ass out here before I level this piece of shit!” Alan yelled as he took another section of the building.
Alan could feel her long before she appeared, behind him a female voice stated, “The name is Thara, unfortunately for you it is the last you will hear!” A high wind rose threating to blow everything away, Alan yawned and waved his hand behind him.
Smiling he heard the choking start, “I have to thank you bitch! I am now more than ready to take you all down; thanks to you I won’t be surprised again.” Extending his arm Alan caught the black cloud creature ripping it apart amid horrible inhuman screaming.
The look of surprise and fear apparent on her face Thara tried to flash out but found she was held much too tightly to escape. “You bastard! What gives you the right to interfere? This is our planet you son of a bitch!” Thara was screaming.
Alan reached in and began to strip all her powers away, each producing a deafening scream from her. Alan had almost finished when he felt another presence, throwing up another shield, the dark twisted human was firing electric bolts at him.
Smiling Alan thought hmmm, this one is actually smart. Dividing his attention between the 2 should have been harder than it was but as Alan found it was not even a chore. With a final tug Alan ripped the last of her magical abilities loose. Freezing her, Alan turned his attention to the last of the three.
“So, an actual woman this time, at least you have more brains than the others, a shame it won’t do you much good!” Alan sneered.
“As if a lap dog man of the white council could defeat me!” The twisted human yelled. With that, she started in on a renewed campaign of fireballs (again!) electric bolts, and water waves.
“Face it bitch! You’re far too weak; you’re going to die for nothing!” Alan was shouting as he began to press forward with increasing strength. “Come on give up! You want to be a useless non-magic user like Thara? Yes, I took all of her power! You’re next!”
The human screamed and started to press back against Alan. Surprising him a moment, she actually backed him back up a few steps ’til he felt her start to falter. Dam it! Why doesn’t she give up! Ah! I see! From well behind him a new threat appeared, freezing the now startled dark twisted human, Alan turned to face the new threat.
Hopix had remained hidden the whole time scanning the area for any other threats, several of the bolts and fireballs had gotten close but nothing she couldn’t handle. The appearance of the fourth Mazey had her worried a bit though, Alan had defeated two of the three that still left too many out there as of yet.
Alan could feel that this one was far different than the others he’d faced so far. “Hello Alan, you sorry piece of shit, tsk, tsk, I see you’ve been busy. One almost dead, one actually dead, two stripped of their powers, the last frozen, might as well as be dead.” Here this newest addition, a short, wart covered, green skinned being snapped its fingers, the twisted human screamed as its soul was ripped from it and quickly devoured by this newest addition. “HMMM that’s five; one of them was stronger than most of us, too bad he was so damn stupid!” Here the wart being laughed and opened its arms. “I am not here to battle you, though if I must, I will welcome an actual challenge, no I am here to offer you a deal. We’ll let you go. You can take all that you have freed with you, and we get the rest, seems fair enough, no?”
“I’ve got a far better deal for you, one that you should take now; this will be the only time I offer it.” Alan said in even calm tones though he felt that any minute the misshapen creature before him would soon be trying to destroy him.
“A far better deal, huh, do pray tell.” the being said.
“You and the rest of your cronies can leave the planet with the few that want to be with you. I don’t destroy you or them and everyone is alive. See? A far better deal than the other one I have to offer you and them.” Alan said startling to clench his teeth.
“Uh huh,” the being said starting to tense up. “And that would be?”
“I hunt you all down and either strip you all of your powers or I just kill you.” Alan spit out.
“You can fucking try.” the wart being said as it tried to freeze Alan, hmmm that was different. Bouncing it back the other easily dodged. “I’d have thought better of you,” it was at that moment that the other felt the blood starting to ooze from the cut on its side.
Waving a hand it flashed out, damn it, Alan thought, I’d have gotten 5 of them today! Reaching out Alan started to clear every Fairixie he felt, he’d done well over a thousand when a booming voice sounded.
“You have freed many but you’ll never free all of them, Alan. These are our slaves, they will never all be free.” The voice said.
“As I told the last one that was the only time, I would offer the deal that I did. Since he is hurt he won’t be that much good to you now, there might as well be only 3 of you, and hell one of you is so weak I’m not sure they are worth the effort to defeat. Don’t worry though, for the many atrocities you have done to these people you will be punished!” Alan yelled.
The voice laughed, “if you were more seasoned I might be worried, but you are nothing, no experience, no killer instinct, HA no real power!” A huge bolt struck Alan’s shield. Alan immediately sent on back the same way. A startled gasp let him know that he had found his mark. “AH! I see an actual challenge! I welcome you, you may have the areas of the dead and beaten ones.”
Alan reached out and started to release every Fairixie he found he was well over 5000 when Hopix noticed a dark cloud moving on the horizon. “Uh, Alan I think we’ve got trouble,” she told him keeping an eye on the advancing darkness.
